Cyber safety for teachers involves protecting personal data, securing school networks, and guiding students to use digital tools responsibly.
Essential Cyber Safety Practices
Spot Phishing Scams: Question unexpected emails or urgent requests for passwords and personal information. Check sender addresses carefully before clicking links.
Use Strong Authentication: Create complex, unique passwords for every account and turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever available.
Secure Your Devices: Never leave laptops, tablets, or phones unlocked and unattended in classrooms. Log out of shared or public computers.
Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Use secure home networks or trusted mobile data hotspots instead of open public Wi-Fi when handling sensitive school or personal data. [

Stick to Approved Software: Only download and install school-verified applications to prevent malware infections.
Protecting Students Online
Curate Digital Content
Share links through secure, logged-in school portals rather than directing students to unvetted external sites with excessive advertisements or public comment sections.
Teach Safe Searching: Guide students to look closely at search result descriptions before clicking and use child-friendly search engines.
Watch for Cyberbullying: Monitor online student interactions during collaborative work and know the warning signs of harassment or digital peer pressure.
